There's no such thing as too many screens:

@harphat I'm not supporting those who spread the disinformation but we need to forgive them. (Not saying you should forget though.) Many who spread the disinformation were more or less deceived, being the victims as well as the perpetrators.

@RL_Dane @randomString What I do is have a ~/Audio folder, and then a Audio/Music symlink to ~/Music (a symlink to ~/Music because XDG I guess).

Hello from the command line! I'm posting this from a terminal :)

Relating to current results 

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane On a more computerized device, you couldn't do that unless the feature was built-in :( Here's to DIY!

@RL_Dane @benjaminhollon Oh absolutely. More robust, manual and "hackable" to list a few advantages.

(That's exactly 500 characters by the way :D)

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane One of the things I like about music via vinyl records is it feels a lot more natural – 'human-compatible', I like to say. You don't interact with a single screen or computer to get it working. If you want to listen to something else you get up and physically change the record. Records can be passed down to children or given away (physically, not as a virtual asset).

And your records don't disappear if they get pulled from the store and there are no changes or updates 😀

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane My family has a record player and perhaps 20 records (thanks grandparents C: for most of them). Most of them are old Christmas-related vinyls but we have a few recent ones too.

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:

➡️ chirp.social

You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers

It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.

It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.

What if we call the cram/study time right before a test Cruddy Time

@servant @RL_Dane Debian Stable is fine, if you are willing to get out-of-date (feature-wise, not security-wise) packages.
Debian Testing works OK and gets you more up-to-date packages. But if you want a distribution that uses up-to-date packages then Debian Testing isn't your best choice IMO.

I use Debian (Stable) on my Internet server. It works great.
